Parent Child Book Clubs

This past month parents and their fifth of sixth grade student met at school to discuss a book that they had both read.

At conferences 45 families chose books that they would like to read together. One month later, we met back at school for treats and conversation. After the book club-- a few families decided that they would continue the Parent/Child Book Club with their child's friends. It was a lot of fun to see families and kids interacting with great books!

We read:
WONDER
ESPERANZA RISING
HOME OF THE BRAVE
NUMBER THE STARS
FREAK THE MIGHTY
LOSER
WATSONS GO TO BIRMINGHAM 1963
HOPE WAS HERE

I provided each group with a list of questions--but encouraged groups to discuss what they thought were important aspects of the book. It was a great night.
